Letter: Sound the alarm

Okay folks, this is getting serious. We knew it was going to be bad, but it's barely two months in and we are seeing things we thought could never happen here. Financial chaos as economic policy, threats of American hegemony over sovereign states, an unelected oligarch making decisions at the highest level of our government, private and public education institutions being told what they can and cannot teach, law firms punished for legal challenges that displease the President, and even worse: federal judges being intimidated, and legal residents being swept up by plain clothed ICE agents. None of this is hyperbole or left-wing propaganda, just read today's paper. Will the growing frustrations that are resulting in larger and more frequent resistance demonstrations as well as additional court rulings against the President, result in a decree of martial law? Think not? Think again! We now know, it can happen here.
